You saw the ad. "FREE bulky item disposal!" Sounds too good to be true — and that’s because it is.
Behind the smiling Facebook posts and too-good-to-be-true promises, some so-called 'free disposal' services in Singapore are being called out for unprofessional conduct, bait-and-switch tactics, and even harassment.
We’ve heard real stories from people who:
Received verbal abuse after declining the service
Were charged a fee just to receive a quote
Got stalked by persistent follow-ups after saying no
Got harassed from a second number after blocking the first — with the so-called provider demanding to know why they declined the service
Thought they were dealing with Junk Value — but weren’t
Let’s be clear: these tactics damage trust across the whole industry.
No, That’s Not Junk Value Messaging You
Some rogue businesses are allegedly impersonating legit companies like Junk Value — riding on our name to appear credible.
But the experience tells you everything:
Sudden change in tone when you hesitate
Pressure to pay for Quotes
Aggressive follow-up if you choose someone else
We don’t play those games.
Why 'Free' Isn’t Really Free
Think about it: how can bulky item disposal be free when there’s cost involved in:
Transport
Manpower
Fuel
Disposal fees at licensed facilities
The truth is, someone’s paying — and it’s either in cash, time, or your peace of mind.
✅ They give you a proper quote based on real photos and info
✅ They clearly explain what's included (e.g. stairs, dismantling, lift access)
✅ They don’t charge you for asking questions
✅ They let you decide — no pressure, no bullying
At Junk Value, we offer:
Transparent pricing
Polite communication
No obligation to confirm
We know you have options. And we welcome comparisons. But professionalism means accepting when someone chooses another service — not harassing or gaslighting them.
We’ll continue doing our part to raise the standard for removal services in Singapore.
📌 Always verify the company’s name, number, and website. Ours is junk-value.net and our official WhatsApp: wa.me/6591459514
📌 Ask for written terms before confirming
📌 Report abuse to Google Reviews, CASE, or Police if needed
Not all junk removal companies are created equal. The next time you see “Free Disposal!”, pause — and read the fine print.
Don’t let your old sofa be the reason you’re verbally abused or tricked into hidden fees.
